For a game that’s heading into its maintenance mode, Final Fantasy XI is remaining quite active. Previous announcements had confirmed that the game was going to continue receiving updates through the end of April 2016, but producer Akihiko Matsui has confirmed that the game will continue to be updated past April with monthly updates featuring both battle and story content.
Obviously, the game will not be adding something on scale with the massive Rhapsodies of Vana’diel, but players can look forward to new things to do on a monthly basis. This will include large-group and solo battle content, to boot. All of this is good news for anyone who isn’t quite ready to say farewell to Vana’diel; the game is on a slow road to twilight, not simply sailing into the darkness.
